FOR CHARITY'S SAKE.
A Brilliant Entertainment at Keefe
Hall Last Night.
Some of the Unique Features of the
Affair.
A Gorgeous Success Expected for
the Closing Evening.

The Charity Fair" an event which
has long been looked forward to as a
prominent social event, was formally
opened at Keefe's hall last evening. The
liberal patronage which the entertainment
received last evening must C, rtainly have
been a source of encouragement to the
very worthy ladies who compose the asso-
citation; and the receipts, which will
amount to quite a respectable sum-, will
accomplish a great deal towards ~alleviat-
ing the sufferings of some unfortunates
who have been cared for through the eff
forts of this worthy organization.
To night will be the second and last
evening of the fair, and it will undoubt-
edly receive as large, if not a much larger
attendance than last evening, which it
truly deserves.
Through the efforts of the ladies' the
hall has been so much improved by costly
and beautiful decorations as to be almost
un~recoguizable. Mrs. E. S. N. Morgan
and Mrs. Hale, who oficiated at the
door, and Mrs. G. w. Baxter, president
of the association, seem to have the
knack of making a visitor fell at home.
To the right as a person enters is the
flower stand. Here is arranged a huge
collection Of hot house flowers made up
into beautiful and tasteful designs. The
ladies who attend to this stand are Mrs.
&. w. Baxter. Mrs. Patten and the
Misses Friend, Crook and Horrie.
Next is the fruit stand, at which is col
lected a splendid variety of fruits, which
seem to disappear rapidly. Mrs. DR.. W.
N. Hunt and Miss Lilly Whipple preside
here.
The fancy work stand occupies the cen
ter of the hall, and is not only beautifully
decorated but is loaded down with splen-
did samples of fancy needle work. Judg-
ing from the bundles which many of the
gentlemen carried away last evening, this
department has a good chance to close
out all of its goods this evening. The
ladies who attend to this stand are Mrs.
Ransom, Mrs. Breckons and Mrs. Ham
"Ohui dooloOCu Wy nllSsSS uuOOullRHl anu
Woods.
The five and ten cent counter also re-
ceived its full share OF attention. There
are hundreds of little knick-knacks, use
full and ornamental, many of which were
donated by the Band of Hope of this
city. Mrs. Powelson presided, and was
assisted by the Misses Dobbins, Hopkins
and Williams, three representatives of
the Band of Hope.
The candy stand, as is always the case,
received a liberal patronage, and was ably
managed by Mrs. Guthrie, Mrs. Van
Tassell and Miss jessie Barkwell.
The supper tables were next in order.
The Baptist table was in charge of Mrs.
E. +. Johnston and Mrs. Frank Dana,
assisted by Misses Gussie Johnston and
Nellie Leibey.
The Presbyterian table was managed
by Mrs. Welsh, Mrs. Ames, Mrs.
Breckons and Mrs. McGregor, assisted by
the Misses Smalley and Griffith.
The Methodists are represented at their
table by Mrs. T. F. Durbin and Mrs. j..
w. Lacey.
The Congregational table is ably man
aged by Mrs. Goodell assisted by Misses
Gertie Ellis and Annie East.
The Episcopal table completes the list
and is managed by Miss Davis, Mrs.
Weaver and Miss Hebard.
The tea booth, one of the most attrac-
tive spots in the hall, occupies the stage
at the end of the building. This place
is beautifully decorated and attracts gen.
eral attention. The Congregational
church ladies' originated the following
idea: Seventy-fve cents is paid for a
cup Of tea and the buyer is privileged to
keep the daintily decorated cup and
and saucer, which make a splendid
souvenir of the occasion. This booth is
presided over by Mrs. f. Mason Smith,
Mrs. Casey, Miss Sprague of New York,
Miss Force of Brooklyn and Mrs. Louise
Smith.
The fair will be continued this evening
and should receive a very liberal pat
rOnage.
